This looks great, but I'm not so sure if it is worth $70.
I have it and I'm happy with it. You can find it cheaper on online retailers. Amazon.com has it for $15 less at $54.99.

I agree about sleeves. I love the Crumpler Fug sleeve I had for my Macbook Air 11". Perfect fit, minimal added thickness, and easy slide-in\slide-out. Wish they made them for rMBP 13"
I read some reviews of the incase neoprene sleeve for the 13 inch retina mbp has magnet issues that cause it to go to sleep when you place it under the laptop. Anyone have experience with this? Is there a certain position you can flip the case to prevent this?
I've never placed mine below my laptop when in use so I can't answer that for you. I'll see if I can give it a go when I get home and see what happens.
I've been using the Incase protective sleeve deluxe and its been pretty good for me. Although, I do like the extra zipper in the front to store stuff, I find it to be a bit bulky. The laptop does have some side to side play and is not held in tight.

I tried it and it depends on the orientation of the sleeve. If the side with the opening is on the left then the case will put your MacBook to sleep. If the the side with the opening where the magnet is is on the right it does not affect the MacBook. So as long as you are mindful of the orientation you should be alright.
I personally like the incase sleeves. They're simple and cheap and does the job! No need to spend $100+ on premium leather and wool, because that's going to help my protect my MacBook how??
I decided to get one yesterday from BB for $39.95, hoping that within the 30 day return/exchange policy incase will come out with a sleeve specific for the rMBP. The one below fits, but it's got a bit of slack. I needed one now, I've been paranoid since last week.
ehh, my thumb looks weird.
I ordered a rMBP and while I wait for it to arrive, I wanted a sleeve. I went with the incase 13" sleeve as well. Went blue (favorite color). I understand there might be some slack but that's ok. It does what I need it to do honestly and it will protect it nicely. Just looking to keep it clean/scratch free is all.
You can still use a keyboard cover, but don't leave it on when you close the lid. I take mine off when I'm closing the machine and just slap it on the lid of the display before sliding the machine into my incase sleeve. The matte coating on the keys wears off way too fast on these machines. Closing it with the keyboard cover on will definitely damage the display as it applies too much pressure.
Hi all,
What do you think of the toasted skin for my prospective maxed out 15 inch rMBP?

If anyone is interested check out my video review of the Yessbon PU leather case for the 15" retina Macbook Pro. They also make them for the Airs and the 13" rMBP. I also compare the bag to a few other bags I own from CaseCrown and Waterfield Designs.
Would be worried about the glue leaving residue though the makers deny that from happening. Would want to hear it from someone who is using it or has used it !
Hi guys!
So I've been doing some research and can't decide between choosing a dBrand skin or a Slickwraps skin for my 15' Macbook Retina. From what I've seen, Slickwraps' customer service seems to beat dBrand hands down, but it seems that dBrand's skins are of higher quality? I've heard that the Slickwrap skins seem to come off just after a few weeks I'm from Malaysia btw so getting one of these skins ain't cheap and I really just want the best for my Mac. Thank you!

Just purchased a 256GB 2015 MBPr. I'm really loving the slim profile of this laptop (and of course the retina screen!)
I am looking for a nice sleeve to protect this laptop while in my backpack, as my previous cMBP had a terrible scratch on the top shell. I'm looking for a affordable (20-25 bucks or less) sleeve that maintains the slimness of this laptop. Any suggestions?

I'm pretty sure your backpack is just fine without a sleeve.
For real, I know what you mean and I'm looking for something similar. All cheap sleeves seem to fit very badly for rMBP though.
thats what i thought! but you know how student life goes - big backpacks filled with not only your laptop but heavy textbooks and such all clanging together. My old MBP had a deep scratch - maybe i'll even call it a gash - on the top which i don't want on my new beautyI'm pretty sure your backpack is just fine without a sleeve.

EDIT: DOH! Just saw my typo... hehe
I bought this backpack last year and man oh man. It is one of the best backpacks a modern day tech enthusiast, on the go adventurer can get.
It also has a built in sleeve for an iPad. One of the best features which I see almost no backpacks do still (a mistake) is that the sleeve for the laptop and iPad are lifted from the bottom of the bag so they don't always make contact when placed on the ground and then on the bottom of the sleeves is a roll of bubble foam padding to protect it from when you set your bag down on the floor.
It can fit a lot in it and has a ton of storage compartment options.
I recommend it highly!
I just ordered this: https://www.sfbags.com/products/macbook-suede-jacket-sleeve
I chose horizontal sleeve for 13" rMBP and the cost ended up to be $31 after shipping. Once I receive my order I'll update how the sleeve works out.
Edit: This is probably just what you're looking for. Sleeve is made out of pretty good quality suede and barely increases dimensions of rMBP at all, while protecting it from scratching in bag. It is expensive for what it is, but seems like there's no better options on the market.

Can anyone recommend a good messenger bag for my 15" rMBP. I'm going to be a graduate TA in the Fall so I can't wear my old Eddie Bower backpack on my dress clothes.
I need to take my laptop, a binder or two, and a textbook or two. I really want it to be quality since I'm taking some heavy stuff in it. I'm looking on Amazon, but it's hard to gage size.

You can't beat a Tom Bihn or Waterfield bag for quality. They're pricey but well made and durable. Sometime yo can get a good deal on Ebay. I have bags from both companies and they are the best ones I've owned.
